Definitions
- the invention relates to a self-centering, inertial-locking connector.
- Such a connector is provided to ensure the connection between two conductor bundles or the connection of a bundle to a printed circuit.
- a first technical problem to be solved is that of the correct installation of the movable portion of the connector relative to the stationary portion.
- a second technical problem posed by these connectors is that of the surface quality of the electric contact studs, whereas in each of the portions of the connector, these surfaces are in the open air before the connection.
- a third technical problem is linked to the uniform polarization of the contacts of the movable portion of the connector by means of a shunt that should be removed at the time of connection.
- One object of the invention is to propose a connector that can solve these problems simply and effectively.
- Another object of the invention is to propose a connector that ensures locking at the position of the connection in a virtually automatic manner at the end of the connection operation.
- This invention has as its object a self-centering, inertial-locking connector, comprising a stationary contact terminal, a movable contact terminal and a lock, characterized in that the movable contact terminal and the lock comprise means for engagement for ensuring the simultaneous insertion of the movable contact terminal and the lock into the stationary contact terminal, and means for disengagement at the end of the connection phase for ensuring, by inertial effect, the locking of the connector.
- the invention also has as its object a process for connection and locking of an electric connector that comprises a stationary contact terminal, a movable contact terminal, and a lock, characterized by the following stages:
- FIG. 1 is a top view of the connector
- FIG. 2 is a cutaway view along the line AA of FIG. 1 , representing the entire connector in locked position;
- FIG. 3 is a cutaway view along line BB of FIG. 1 , representing the entire connector at the beginning of the connection phase;
- FIG. 4 is a cutaway view along line CC of FIG. 1 representing the entire connector at the beginning of the connection phase;
- FIG. 5 is a cutaway view along line DD of FIG. 1 representing the lock at the beginning of the connection phase;
- FIGS. 6 and 7 are respectively analogous to FIGS. 4 and 5 during the connection phase;
- FIGS. 8 and 9 are respectively analogous to FIGS. 6 and 7 at the end of the connection phase
- FIGS. 10 and 11 are respectively analogous to FIGS. 8 and 9 after deshunting

- the second shoulder 12 of the front wall 11 is located between the inclined edge 6 and the plane 13 of stationary contacts, toward the upper third, whereas the first shoulder 10 of the rear wall 7 is located toward the lower third of the space encompassed between the inclined edge 6 and the plane 13 of stationary contacts.
- the rear wall 7 of the stationary contact terminal 1 is uniformly thin and set back relative to the inclined edge 6 , thus providing a catch 14 for locking the movable contact terminal 2 under the inclined edge 6 .
- the front wall 11 has, above the plane 13 of stationary contacts, a third shoulder 15 , whereby the wall 11 is thin above the shoulder 15 and thicker below.
- the stationary contact terminal 1 has, in relief above the plane 13 of the stationary contacts, a pin 16 behind the stationary contacts, and on the front wall 11 , just below the inclined edge 6 , a fourth shoulder 17 , whereby the wall is thicker below the shoulder 17 .
- Stationary electric contacts 18 perpendicular to the plane 13 of the stationary contacts, are placed in the base 4 .
- These contacts 18 are preferably snap-on, i.e., their contact studs extend above the plane 13 and are able to move elastically when supported by the movable contacts.
- the movable contact terminal 2 has a general parallelepipedic shape. It comprises movable electric contacts 19 that are preferably snap-on and that are able to rest on the stationary contacts 18 . These contacts 19 are housed in the central portion of the movable contact terminal 2 and extend below the lower face 20 of the movable contact terminal 2 .

At its free end located toward the top, the arm 30 has a lug 31 extending outward by means of a curved section 32 .
- This lug 31 has, facing outward, a surface in the shape of an obtuse dihedron, consisting of two planar faces 33 and 34 .
- the lower face 33 is able to work with the fourth shoulder 17 of the stationary contact terminal 1
- the upper face 34 is able to work with the lock 3 to accompany the motion toward the rear of the movable contact terminal 2 .
- the lock 3 comes as one part that consists of three flaps: a central flap 35 and two lateral flaps 36 and 37 .
- the central flap 35 is inserted between the front wall 11 of the stationary contact terminal 1 and the movable contact terminal 2 .
- it In its median zone ( FIG. 3 ), it has a hole 38 that can receive the lug 31 before insertion of the movable contact terminal 2 into the stationary contact terminal 1 .
- the lateral flaps 36 and 37 are inserted between the lateral walls 8 and 9 , respectively, of the stationary contact terminal 1 and the movable contact terminal 2 ( FIG. 2 ).
- they In their lower portion, they have a beveled edge, respectively 39 and 40 , to facilitate the centering of the movable contact terminal 2 during its insertion into the stationary contact terminal 1 .
- they In their upper portion, they consist of two walls that are separated by an open space at the top so as to allow an elastic deformation of the outside walls 41 and 42 respectively.
- the outside walls 41 and 42 each have an outside catch 43 and 44 respectively that is able to work with the inclined edge 6 of the corresponding lateral wall 8 , 9 respectively, of the stationary contact terminal 1 to ensure the locking in the connection position of the connector.
- the lateral flaps 36 and 37 each have a catch ( FIG. 2 ) that works with a corresponding catch that is placed on the outside face of the movable contact terminal 2 to ensure the insertion of the mobile contact terminal into the stationary contact terminal 1 .
- the lateral flaps 36 , 37 have a polygonal contour to be able to be inserted between the front wall 11 and the rear wall 7 of the stationary contact terminal 1 , which each comprise a shoulder, 12 and 10 respectively, and a variation of thickness at their respective shoulder.
- the flap 36 has an upper portion that consists of a rectangular trapezium, with an upper edge 45 that is horizontal to FIG. 5 , a vertical front edge 46 , and a rear edge 47 that is vertical and longer than the front edge 46 .
- the front edge 46 and the rear edge 47 each extend toward the bottom via a segment 48 , 49 respectively, oblique toward the rear.
- the two segments 48 and 49 are approximately equal and are parallel to one another.
- the segment 48 extends via a straight segment 50 , parallel to the front edge 46 , which extends up to the height of the edge 51 that limits the segment 49 .
- two oblique segments 52 and 53 converge toward the horizontal lower edge 54 of the flap 36 .
- the shortest distance between the front wall 11 and the rear wall 7 of the stationary contact terminal 1 in the plane of the section line DD is equal to the length of the upper edge 45 of the flap 36 after the connector is locked ( FIG. 11 ). It is equal to the distance between the stop 51 and the straight segment 50 at the beginning of the connection ( FIG. 5 ).
- the two oblique segments toward the rear, 48 and 49 follow the stops of the shoulders 12 and 10 respectively to ensure the motion toward the rear of the lock 3 and, consequently, of the movable contact terminal 2 .
- the lock 3 has a tab 55 that is designed, in the locking phase of the connector ( FIG. 10 ), to detach the shunt 28 of the electric contacts of the movable contact terminal 2 .
- the operation of the connector is analyzed in the following manner.
- the sub-assembly that consists of the movable contact terminal 2 and the lock 3 is presented and brought close to, for example manually, the upper opening of the stationary contact terminal 1 .
- the beveled edges 22 , 24 , 39 , 40 work with the inclined edges 6 to guide the insertion of the movable contact terminal 2 into the stationary contact terminal 1 .
- the oblique segment 52 slides over the second shoulder 12 to guide the flap 36 between the front walls 11 and rear walls 7 until the stop 51 reaches the rear wall 7 .
- the flap 36 is guided by the support of the straight segment 50 against the front wall 11 below the second shoulder 12 and by the support of the stop 51 on the rear wall 7 . Furthermore, the rear wall 21 of the movable contact terminal 2 slides over the inclined edge 6 , and the lock 3 slides against the front wall of the upper portion 5 of the stationary contact terminal 1 .
- connection phase ( FIGS. 6 and 7 )
- the oblique segments 48 and 49 slide respectively over the stops of shoulders 12 and 10 .
- the result is a motion toward the rear of the movable contact terminal 2 , which is combined with the resulting downward motion of the pressure, manual for example, exerted on the lock 3 .
- the first hollow 26 works with the third shoulder 15 ( FIG. 6 )
- the second hollow 29 works with the pin 16 ( FIG. 3 ) to force the movable contact terminal 2 to move toward the rear.
- the upper planar face 34 begins to emerge from the hole 38 , which disengages the lock 3 from the movable contact terminal 2 .
- the lock 3 continuing its downward motion, slides over the upper planar face 34 and pushes the movable contact terminal 2 back toward the rear.
- the disengagement of the lock 3 and the movable contact terminal 2 brings about an inertial effect and ensures the completion of the connection operation until the connector is locked.
- the movable contact terminal 2 completes its downward, retracting motion toward the rear wall 7 of the stationary contact terminal 1 ; thanks to its fifth rounded shoulder 25 , the rear portion of the movable contact terminal 2 is inserted under the locking catch 14 .
- the unlocking of the connector is carried out by application of a manual pressure to the outside walls 41 , 42 of the lateral flaps 36 , 37 for drawing them close to one another and for releasing the catches 43 , 44 of the inclined edges 6 .
- the lock 3 is then drawn off manually. During its extraction motion, on the one hand, it releases the shunt 28 that is reinstalled on the electric contacts, and on the other hand it reengages with the lug 31 and brings about the extraction of the movable contact terminal 2 .
- the initial engagement of the lock 3 and the movable contact terminal 2 ensures the correct connection of the movable contact terminal 2 in the stationary contact terminal 1 , and then, during the same motion, which is continued by inertial effect after disengagement from the lock 3 and the movable contact terminal 2 , the locking in the connector position.
- the stationary contact terminal 1 has a limited height.
- the plane 13 of the stationary contacts is the plane of a printed circuit 56 , and the body of the stationary contact terminal 1 is attached to the support of the printed circuit 56 .
- the invention also has as its object a process for connection and locking of an electric connector that comprises a stationary contact terminal ( 1 ), a movable contact terminal ( 2 ) and a lock ( 3 ), characterized by the following stages:
